So I want to start out by saying I did not play allot of this game.  So if you really like flying games, or you have a great deal of experience with flying games you may like this game allot more than I did.  As I struggled and struggled with this game, I kind of realized that I was simply playing it to get it done and I was not enjoying it.  So I guess that should tell you something.

Basically this is the same game as the XBox 360 version, with one exception.  The PS3 version gives you the option to use the motion sensing capabilities of the SixAxis controller.  I must say it uses the motion sensing very well.  It took some practice, and getting use too, but after you get it figured out using the analog sticks just does not give you that immersive sensation of guiding the plane, as actually tilting the controller similar to a flight stick.  The visuals are good, I would have liked to seen some better explosions graphics.  One thing that would have been nice would be different endings for each of your opponents as you blow them out of the sky.  What I mean is when you shoot down a plane, they all pretty much look the same.  If I am pumping those Gerry war planes full of hot lead, I would really like to first see the plane start to billow smoke then progress to a fire and begin to dive and finally an all out explosion.  If the developers could have had ten or more different crash sequences that would have really added something to the game.  As it is when you shoot your enemy you see them burst into flames and then go hurling to the ground where you can only assume that they crashed into the earth in an explosion of ordnance, gas, and twisted metal.  One thing that I do miss is the rumble feature of the SixAxis controller.  When you are lighting someone up with your machine guns it was very rewarding feeling the controller shake in your hands, or when you crash into the ground (or a bridge, or a building, or a mountain side…well I think you get the idea) it gives you a sense of the crash.  The chatter from your AI teammates is mostly useless and sometimes their efforts to mix humor or sarcasm end up just being plain annoying.  I did like the fact that you can do a first person in cockpit view or a behind the plane third person view.  I wish more game developers would let gamers choose what their preferred game is.

The online feature of the game is good, and for the combat flight junkies it will be entertaining.  Also those who like World War II games this game will be quite entertaining.

Over all the game is a good game, I found it quite hard and you may will find yourself playing levels over and over again until you get it just right.  The graphics are good, the sound is good.  But nothing about this game is a really outstanding and there is no feature of this game that is done above average.  The game does not exceed my expectations in anyway, but on the flip sides fall below my expectations either.  It is simply an average game that was done just good enough to not get too many complaints.  When this game drops in price down or you can find it used for about $30 I would say go out and buy it.  But right now $60 seems like it is just a little too much for a simply average game.
